selphie_t | 25th Draw = EARTHQUAKE! DDD: [Voice/Action]

[Backdated to shortly after the earthquake ended.]

[Selphie had woken up earlier that day to a pleasant day and she'd prepared a list of things that she needed to get done. Laundry and cleaning up the apartment were on the top of that list before she felt a rumbling that made her blood run cold. She bolted for the nearest doorway, bracing herself for the shaking that will leave place full of broken plates, spoiled food and destroyed contents. Granted, the quake only lasts a few minutes but they're the longest of her life before she's dashing into her room. She's throwing on clean clothes and tossing some of her belongings (journal, clothes, sentimental items from her friends) into her backpack before slipping into her sneakers. Her Morning Star is attached to the bottom of the backpack.

She stares at the destruction of her home before she's making her way toward the door. She has to get out, it's not safe inside. She doesn't want to be caught inside another explosion or some type of disaster and for the love of Hyne, this is screaming Trabia to her all over again. She stares at it for a couple minutes in wide-eyed horror before closing the door behind her. Whatever's happening today cannot be good before she begins to leave the building. After that, she'll be running through the village, finding as many of her friends and acquaintances as possible.

She'll also help dig people out because she's a SeeD and that's the kind of thing that they'd do in this type of disaster. Inside, she's freaking out but she'll be doing her damned best not to let that show to anybody.]

Is everybody okay?! Check in or I'm coming -- forget it, I'm coming to find you anyway!

Squall, Irvine, Rinoa you all better be alive or I'm kicking your asses.

[Gulp.]

You look amazing.

[His brain has exited the house now. It's taking every drop of restraint he's got to keep his hands off her like a gentleman.]

I, uh...

[Now that Selphie's blushing and attempting to hide that fact with her hands, she'll walk backward toward the bed and plop herself down on it. Boy you better not be getting any ideas. Selphie's too tired to smack you around.]

Thank you.

[He's 17, of course he's getting ideas, and kicking himself for them too. Too bad for him he'll behave himself and re-enter the room with his hands firmly in his pockets.]

Do you need anything else? Another pillow or blanket?

[Boys and their silly ideas. Regardless, Selphie shakes her head.]

No, I'll be fine with what's here. Thank you anyway, though.

[Ceodore nods then just stands there. Awkward! He's got no idea what the protocol is for something like this.]

[Selphie giggles as he just stands there. He doesn't even have to try and cheer her up, he's just doing it without even trying. There really isn't a lot of protocol before she's standing up on her toes and pecks him on the cheek.]

Do you need your bed clothes?

Wel- uh, I-I-I- um yeah, but...

[The peck on the cheek is nice but Ceodore's really distracted now. Give him a moment to collect his thoughts.]

Are... you okay now? Because I can stay. If you want. N-n-not like all night, but uh...

[She's calm and that's the important thing. Disaster's just tend to freak the poor kid out.]

Stay until I fall asleep?

Sure.

[And with that, he gives her a long hug. First things first in this putting the sweetheart to bed business.]

[The minute his arms are wrapping around her, Selphie's eyes are starting to close. If he plans on keeping this hug up for much longer, Ceodore's gonna have to tuck Selphie in.]

[He'd be okay with holding her forever. But when he realizes she's dozing off standing up, he stoops down and collects Selphie into his arms to carry her over to the bed. Not the first time he's tucked her in, after all.]

[Selphie's awake enough to give Ceodore a sleepy looking pout but she'll rest her head against his chest in the process.]

[That pout makes Ceodore grin. Selphie's so cute like that. He places her in the bed like she's the most precious and fragile treasure in the world, then covers her up. Without warning, while simply looking at her, he feels a surge of emotion that he can't identify.

He strokes her hair lightly, since it's too tempting to resist, then bends to kiss her forehead. Unless someone throws him out, he'd be content to just watch her sleep for the rest of the night.]

[She curls into the blanket almost immediately, looking smaller and even more childlike than usual. She does feel that peck on her forward as her eyes crack open a bit. She flashes Ceodore a sleepy smile before nodding off for the night.]
